Blockchain analytics startup Elliptic has integrated with LexisNexis, a move that provides the startup's clients with access to the vendor's global money laundering database.
The hope, the companies say, is to provide financial services firms with data on bitcoins transactions so that they can avoid interacting with parties tied to money laundering or other perceived to illicit activities.

"By integrating LexisNexis Risk Solutions' robust watchlist data, we are making it safe for a new wave of financial institutions to handle bitcoin and bank bitcoin companies," Elliptic co-founder and CEO James Smith said in a statement.
Elliptic closed a $5m Series A round earlier this year, a fundraise led by Paladin Capital Group, a venture firm with ties to the US defense industry. The firm has raised $7m in funding to date.

Solana CME Futures Fell Short of BTC and ETH Debuts, but There's a Catch
When adjusted for asset market capitalization SOL's relative futures volume looks better, K33 Research noted.
Ce qu'il:
- Solana's SOL futures began trading on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) on Monday, with a notional daily volume of $12.3 million and $7.8 million in open interest, significantly lower than the debuts of bitcoin (BTC) and ether (ETH) futures.
- Despite the seemingly lackluster debut, when adjusted to market value, SOL's first-day figures are more in line with BTC's and ETH's, according to K33 Research.
- Despite the bearish market conditions, the launch of CME SOL futures offers new ways for institutions to manage their exposure to the token, said Joshua Lim of FalconX.
